about
Matteo Zocarini was an 18th-century Italian composer. His biographical details are unknown. The only pieces of music known from him are 6 concertini for cello and basso continuo, printed around 1740. The sheet music incorrectly states that it was printed by the noted Amsterdam music publisher Michel-Charles Le Cène; the true publisher is unknown. The cover of this sheet music refers to Zocarini as an amatore della musica, or musical amateur. It is understood that Zocarini was a virtuoso cellist, thus the special attention for this instrument in his composing work. There is a possibility that he played in Paris under the name Zuccharini in 1737. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
